Chapter 14 Fault Codes and DescriptionsME300 
 
14-4 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared. 
Record  Yes 
Cause  Corrective Actions 
Malfunction caused by interference 
Verify the wiring of the control circuit and wiring/grounding of the main circuit to 
prevent interference. 
Hardware failure 
Check if other error codes such as cd1–cd3 occur after cycling the power. If yes, 
return to the factory for repair.

Over-voltage during 
acceleration   
(ovA) 
DC  BUS  over-voltage  during  acceleration.  When  ovA 
occurs,  the  drive  closes  the  gate  of  the  output,  the 
motor runs freely, and the display shows an ovA error.   
Action and Reset 
Action level 
230V series: 410 V
DC
 
460V series: 820 V
DC
 
Action time  Immediately act when DC BUS voltage is higher than the level. 
Fault treatment parameter  N/A 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset only when DC BUS voltage is lower than 90% of the over-voltage level. 
Record  Yes 
Cause  Corrective Actions 
Acceleration is too slow (e.g. when 
lifting load decreases acceleration 
time) 
Decrease the acceleration time. 
Use brake unit or DC BUS. 
Replace the drive with a larger capacity model. 
The setting for stall prevention 
level is smaller than no-load 
current. 
The setting for stall prevention level should be larger than no-load current. 
Power voltage is too high. 
Check if the input voltage is within the rated AC motor drive input voltage range, 
and check for possible voltage spikes. 
ON/OFF switch action of phase-in 
capacitor in the same power 
system 
If  the  phase-in  capacitor  or  active  power  supply  unit  acts  in  the  same  power 
system, the  input  voltage may surge abnormally  in a  short  time. In this case, 
install an AC reactor. 
Regenerative voltage of motor 
inertia 
Use over-voltage stall prevention function (Pr.06-01) 
Use auto-acceleration and auto-deceleration setting (Pr.01-44) 
Use a brake unit or DC BUS 
Acceleration time is too short. 
Check if the over-voltage warning occurs after acceleration stops. 
When the warning occurs, do the following: 
1.  Increase the acceleration time 
2.  Set Pr.06-01 over-voltage stall prevention 
3.  Increase the setting value for Pr.01-25 S-curve acceleration arrival time 2 
Motor ground fault 
The ground short circuit current charges the capacitor in the main circuit through 
the power. Check if there is ground fault on the motor cable, wiring box and its 
internal terminals. 
Troubleshoot the ground fault. 
Incorrect wiring of brake resistor or 
brake unit 
Check the wiring of brake resistor or brake unit. 
Malfunction caused by interference 
Verify the wiring of the control circuit and wiring/grounding of the main circuit to 
prevent interference.

Over-voltage during 
deceleration 
(ovd) 
DC  BUS  over-voltage  during  deceleration.  When  ovd 
occurs,  the  drive  closes  the  gate  of  the  output,  the 
motor runs freely, and the display shows an ovd error.
